how to get good sleep naturally

Establish a sleep schedule. Decide on a regular time for yourself to go to bed and wake up each day. As an illustration, decide to go to bed at 9 p.m. and wake up at 8 a.m. every day. Setting aside time to maintain your body's rhythm will help you avoid sleeping in too much in the morning, too much during the day, and a good night's sleep. It has been demonstrated that caffeine alters a person's circadian cycle and impairs their ability to fall asleep at night in those who consume it closer to bedtime.

Since caffeine increases the amount of urine produced by the body, it is also regarded as a diuretic and may cause you to wake up throughout the night to use the loo. The potential effects of excessive caffeine consumption on sleep disturbances can be mitigated by choosing decaf tea or coffee as an alternative or by reducing caffeine intake before bed. 

Before going to bed, you can de-stress from the day by engaging in relaxing activities like yoga or meditation. Apps like Headspace: Mindful Meditation and the Calm app are available for download on your phone. These apps frequently offer free access to meditation guides. 

Not only can a daily brisk walk help you lose weight, but it will also help you sleep better at night. Exercise enhances the effects of melatonin and other naturally occurring sleep chemicals. Simply keep an eye on when you work out. Too much exercise right before bed can be stimulating. Exercise in the morning that exposes you to the light of day will support your circadian rhythm.


There are more potential distractions in your bedroom than the television and your smart phone. Ambience also has an impact on the quality of your sleep. Make sure you have the cosiest possible bedroom. A calm, chilly, and dark setting is ideal. These factors all encourage the onset of sleep.
